Science in the sun.
Today we had a day round at WF house planned, with added science experiments. So I got up at 8 to sort out contribution to bring and share lunch, as well as sorting out washing and so on. In the end my lunch contribution was courtesy of the coop, I am always somewhat uninspired, and…
Midwife, library and swimming.
Trying morning on Tuesday with Big, who is well into the pre teen hormone surge and seems determined to exploit it. Children argued extensively over DVDs – beginning to wish I hadn’t bothered bringing the box in from the garage, I thought they’d be pleased to see it. Neither of them wanted to attend the…
Saturday beach trip
As previously mentioned, L needed a lie in on Sat morning, something to do with us all staying up far too late chatting 🙂 Plus she arrived here with a stinking head cold, and while she could have done with some pampering and lying around time, instead she had these two smallish ppl desperate for…
Jax the fire marshal
Forest school yesterday, and the first time that we had a clash on car requirements, as Tim had arranged to go pick up L from London at the same time as forest school. Fortunately Em has three spare seats in her car, so Tim dropped us there on his way and we got a lift.…
Fractious day
Having done the classic thing of waiting for my deadline to finish my TMA work, I really needed to get stuck in this morning. Which of course meant that the children picked up on this desire to do otherwise than pay them attention, and they were all over me and the living room in annoying…
May have walked too far…
Yesterday I had a lot of twinges in my right side, particularly when pushing Small in the swings at the park. I thought that having a quiet day might help. So obviously I didn’t. Did have a bit of a lie in, but then after that, decided I would go round to the Summer Fayre…
Cake, park, yet more swimming.
As planned today, Small and I baked a cake this morning. He doesn’t get terribly involved, apart from in licking the bowl out 😉 ,but he was there, and we talked about measurements, he did a bit of stirring, and when I asked him to get Tim to check what the equivalent to gas mark…
That exciting day 🙂
Began with a little more excitement that I’d had planned, when the phone rang and it was WF (will just have to borrow that for now) saying that she’d heard on the radio that the road was blocked so there was no point in setting out just yet. Bother. There isn’t really another way around,…
A quieter day
with a return to funking on my part. Started with the delivery of the final part of my Amazon order, Understanding English – Spelling for Key Stage 2 for Big. She glanced at it and discarded it, as they were still engrossed in the Spiderman set. Ah well. Spelling was on her list of wishes,…
A day of deliveries, outings and swimming.
Am attempting to drag myself out of bed slightly earlier in a morning, which is working in terms of less friction between the children, but isn’t doing my energy levels much good. I’m really tired all the time! But there you go. Anyway, got up to find that the parcel from Amazon had arrived, containing…
